About: I will be teaching Cartooning: SuperNatural at Chabot College for their Kids on Campus program this summer.

In this class, you’ll learn how to draw classic spooky and mysterious characters (with a twist) and then you will design your own creation in a final illustration. This class can get a little spooky but won’t keep you up at night!

This animation was created at the 3rd Thursday event at the Cartoon Art Museum in January. We used vending machine figures and Paper Toys that had been made for the Paper Monster Party in 2010 and had guest manipulates them with an iMac running iStopmotion.

This was an activity we had wanted to do before, but this was a chance to experiment and see how it went. I did a similar activity for the second Paper Monster Party at the CAM recently.
